Message Paris
Helping English-speaking parents thrive in the City of Lights. We are 1500 mothers & fathers - collectively raising over 3000 children of all ages in and around Paris. From not-yet-born to grown-up, the average age of our kids is 7 years old. Last year alone we welcomed over 160 newborns. All of us are working - about half of us outside the home, about half of us as stay-at-home parents. We come from over 60 countries, speak over 20 languages. The common denominator? We also all speak English.
